Lace Shorts for Chic Summer Glam!
Granny Pants Glam
Lace shorts…are not granny pants - let’s make that clear. But the reaction to wearing these lingerie pieces out of the home is almost like Bridget Jones having her granny pants discovered.
I always say there is a way around these fads, these trends. If you are already a happy owner of such lingerie, then just throw on an oversized T-shirt, a pair of boots (cowboy or knee high) and blazer for a smarter look - OR just a pair of ballet flats or trainers - and go!
If you have never owned one of these lovely things, invest in a lace short that looks less lingerie, more short. See the ASOS Design pair in botanical print (did I tell you Solarpunk and Ecopunk are also upcoming trends) in the picture on the upper right. Wear them with a sweatshirt on a colder day and accessorise with earth-toned accessories like this dark brown crossbody bag I found in my wardrobe. The lace enhances the look of the shorts and because they don’t look like lingerie, they can be worn year after year!
Capri-Length Lace Shorts
More versatile are the capri-length lace shorts, weatherwise. Knee-length lace shorts are best for those who have longer calves, otherwise wear them with a heeled shoe. My suggestion is to style these with a fitted top - whether shoulder-baring or not - and then add either pointed-toe heels, or chunky sandals.
